'Senator slap fest!' Chuck Grassley drop-kicks 'grandstanding clown' Dick Durbin [video]

This afternoon, Dick Durbin asked Brett Kavanaugh to tell White House Counsel Don McGahn to suspend the confirmation process until the FBI can conduct a thorough investigation. Because of course he did.

Cute how Durbin's pretending Kavanaugh would possibly have any say into what the FBI does and does not decide to investigate. And by cute I mean shameless.

That he is. And Chuck Grassley’s had enough:

Thank you, Sen. Grassley.

Senator slap fest!

Kavanaugh picked up where Grassley left off, giving Durbin the same treatment he gave Dianne Feinstein:

Senator Durbin called for Kavanaugh's hearing to be suspended pending an FBI investigation. That led to a tense exchange, which you can watch in this clip: pic.twitter.com/cdqQ88OEsX

Stunning to me that Kavanaugh managed to somehow not lose his cool with that absurd nonsense from Durbin. If you have a question, ask him the damn question and stop with the grandstanding.

“No you can’t,” Kavanaugh says to Durbin, who has been one of the worst offenders throughout this process.

— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) September 27, 2018

Kavanaugh deserves to be confirmed just for putting up with crap like Durbin’s.

Durbin is a clown show. Embarrassing.
